Hi,
Ive been looking to do a unraid server build. I need your guys opinions should i use my old motherboard and cpu or go the route all the cool kids go and build a 10/11/12th gen server.
Server will be mostly just storing my movies/tv shows and have the automation for torrent etc. At this moment not planning to run plex or jellyfin, just straight connection between main pc and server, but if i do its only to my tv.
At start one hba and sas expander (dual link) giving me 16 drives but later if needed add second hba and expander and also run a 10gbit nic.
My old computer has asus tuf z370 pro gaming mb and intel i3-8300 cpu
Edit1
So the question is do you guys see a problem using the old cpu for
all the *arr
usenet/torrent downloads
Watching movies shows on main computer with mpc-hc+madvr
or
just go straight to the newer hardware
